Masterplan
SMART TRANSIT
Develop a network of public transportation options, including both land and water-based systems.
Develop and upgrade transportation systems on land, water, and air to promote the aviation industry and logistics sector. This will elevate Phuket to a technology-driven and intelligently innovative city, supporting economic growth, travel, and connecting the world’s gateways to various key areas of Phuket province.
SMART TOURISM
Develop Phuket City into a world-class tourist city.
Phuket must be strategically developed to adapt to the rapid economic influx of tourists and investors. This will prepare the island to become a world-class tourist destination.
SMART ENERGY
Develop public utility infrastructure.
Phuket can achieve energy independence by supporting the development of distributed renewable energy systems for personal use. This includes producing electricity from natural sources like solar or wind power, along with the creation and provision of necessary infrastructure, including the development of efficient public utility systems for power distribution
SMART CITY
Develop Phuket to be the first smart city of the southern region.
Phuket is likely the first name that comes to mind when considering smart city development in Thailand. This small city boasts a high economic growth rate fueled by tourism and foreign investment. Phuket’s infrastructure is well-developed, making it a prime candidate for this initiative. In 2015, Phuket was selected as the first pilot city for the Smart City project, a government policy aiming to boost the national economy by driving the digital sector. This project aligns perfectly with Thailand’s 4.0 development plan, which focuses on innovation and technology.
